GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, June lS.-Government
bonds were dull and steady.
Trading in stocks to-day was dull as
usual on half holidays, very little dispo-
sitlon to trade being shown even by pro-
fessionals. LU2don bought a few stocks
in the early dealings and there was some
| purchasing after the issue of the bank
! statement upon the Unexpectedly favor
able showing. The opening wss rather
| heavy, although the changes from last
| evenings final figures were for insignitl-
cant fractions Only. The general market
vas firm in the early dealings, though
extremely dull. After II O'Clock prices
! became stagnsnt, but otter the issue Of
| the bank statement there WAS more ami
nation and further gain III quotations.
The close was quiet and firm.
TIE railroad bond market was also
affected by the general apathy. The deal
| ings were devoid of feature. Prices
were firm.
A BANKER INTERVIEWED.
CHICAGO, Ill, June lS-A local paper
| saws TO remove the discrepancy between
| IrWin's statement that some $500, 900 was
placed to KershsW's credit Wednesday
morning, and the apparent fact that the
| latter'S checks were honored for only
about S500. 600 that day, questions We're
DuJ to the different officers OF the AmeTi
can Exchange Bank yesterday, with the
results as follows;
sTs it true that about $4,000 was
deposited mere 10 his credit Wednesday
morning."
at would not be proper Cor me to tel
you the amount, but it is true that g
round sum was deposited to his credit
Wednesday morning.
'sDid the bank honor his checks to the
! fuIl amount of the Deposit"
eyes, TO the last dollar. The story
| that the bank gtabbed any part of that
deposit is untrue. The bank was 2uliy
protected as to al OF its previous sc
! counts with Mr.. Kershsw."
